I didn't actually write down any PLO hand histories, but I do roughly remember them:

1) Stacked off AAT6 pre for $300. 5way all-in. Runout T627Q. Someone flips over QJJ2 and scoops.

2) Had Tc 9c 9s 8d on a Ac 8d 7h Qc board. I faced a jam of around $230 into $250 and I called it off and bricked out. Lost to A8xx.

3) Tilt starting to set in now: I stacked off $300 pre with Kh Td 8h 3d against a whale. He showed As 9c 9h 2c and he won the flip.

4) Again stacked off something like As Jc 9s 4c pre for $300 against the whale. I forget what he had, but I know it was a slightly worse hand and he won the flip.

5) Whale agreed to do a bunch of all-in pre flips against me, for amounts ranging from $100 to $300. I won the $100 flips but he won the $300 flips lol.

Breakdown for the day:
2/3 NL: played 4.25hrs lost $825
2/5/10 NL: played 2.5hrs won $251
1/3 PLO: played 3.25hrs lost $1326.
Total: played 10hrs lost $1900

On my way out, I threw $100 on a blackjack table and lost too, just so I could make myself a round 2k down for the night.

So I leave Sydney in less than 24hrs and so far, I've played 46hrs and I'm up $362 (this doesn't include pit games, home games or pub poker). It seems I'll almost definitely pass the 50hr goal mark, even if I deduct the 2hrs I spent playing the tourney and only count cash game hours.

Kind of a shame to lose my 2k profit right at the very end, and largely due to tilt, but oh well. Maybe I'll win some back tonight.

I plan to go out for drinks tonight with my mate too (the CEO guy), so I'll have to schedule a few hours of drinking and a few hours of poker, so that I can have fun but also pass the 50hr volume goal at the same time.

"I got it in pf with really bad hands against the *whale*"

*op was the whale, he is just the only one who didn't realize it.
Congrats on that ~$7 hourly that doesnt break you even before expenses though.

lol going for drinks with "the CEO guy" aka the excuse to not give a **** and feel great about yourself and your sick accomplishments. Time to celebrate.

The last chapter begins when you're back from sydney, before you stop posting and work for the man

So you lose 2 big pots, and immediately massive tilt sets in and you start flipping for stacks? Who is the whale here again?

this the same profit that you won whilst pissed scooping huge pots with j4o, 67o, playing 5/5 plo and $200 BJ hands? talk about selective memory...

Who wouldn't tilt when you lose 80bb at your normal stake when you had like 100bb in equity?

Like normal people would just say, they're meeting a friend...but with OP it's always this superimportant, succesful guy, that is superclose with OP and has nothing better to do than to get ****faced several days a week.

If this guy really exists and you are close friends:
- What is this guy thinking about your life choices?

I imagine he knows a thing or two about poker (and business):
- What does he have to say about your mindset and BRM?

And most importantly you should ask yourself:
- Why the **** am I bringing a wealthy & drunk *******, that likes to splash around, to my workplace while my life depends on like 5 BIs?

There's only one answer:

Hand Equity Wins Ties
Kh Td 8h 3d 51.05% 301,315 10,018
90% 48.95% 288,667 10,018

Hand Equity Wins Ties
As Jc 9s 4c 54.84% 323,305 11,440
90% 45.16% 265,255 11,440

Hero basically got it in with the nuts and ran bad.

To be fair, equity isn´t really that bad if you run it against 30% or even 10%, and gambling preflop in PLO is fun and if you can GII against a wide range you are OK with these hands, but on the other hand you might just as well go and play roulette instead and skip all this "pot" "pot" "raise pot" nonsense (and risk that someone wakes up with AA and crushes you). And in roulette everyone will cheer you on if you win - fellow players and croupiers alike. No sour faces. Go for it OP! One time!

Why not put the $6k your brought on roulette. Go big or go home imo.

For a 'CEO' your mate doesn't seem to work very much if he spends most his time drinking and playing poker with degenerates.

OP is a recreational hobbyist who has nothing going on in his life. Poker and gambling (technically this is just gambling but we can give OP the benefit of the doubt and assume he's b/eish as a poker player) are what he does for fun and to pass the time and he likes getting drunk.

If he gets drunk he does so usually in a place relating to gambling and is probably part of the fun. He isn't going to stop getting drunk and he isn't going to just get pissed sat in his house watching tv.

On top of this when your hobby becomes a job and it isn't something you really love and dedicate yourself to then all that means is that when OP isn't playing he has nothing else to do and playing all the time is boring. That way it's easier to dick about wasting your time and only playing the same amount of poker he did already.

Many gifs I could use for the post or each hand but....naw. 6b, I don't think PLO's the game for you.

and if we deduct the hours not spent working and just being a degenerate? Still at ~34 (I think.) which is certainly an improvement for you and something you should keep up when you get home.

no gif

6bet, live plo is a very different game. It is similar to the variant of live full ring in the sense that no one folds (making live fr a complex game in itself)...but it is of course amplified by the fact that everyone gets 4 cards.

No one is making a mistake by getting it in pre. Your equities will run far too close for you to ever realize anything.

This does not mean live plo is unbeatable. The interesting thing about it is that villains incorrectly call postflop when they are near drawing dead.

For example, people will gii with bottom 2 pair, bottom sets, non nut flush draws, 8 out straight draws...even when 36 cards went to a flop. These are really, really bad mistakes, and where your money comes from in live plo. Read Jeff Hwangs book on plo for preflop hand selection. Do not gii pre except when you are forced to with AAx or strong suited rundowns (but even these I try to take to flops instead)

You cannot force anything. It is like swimming against a very strong rip current. Swim with the current. And pot pot pot when you flop it.
